• Compensation for child's injuries from a toy

  Asked in Miami, FL | November 22, 2024

  My child was injured by a toy. The toy was hard plastic and broke apart, and a sharp piece caused a gash on my child's hand, requiring a few stitches. Can I file a personal injury lawsuit on behalf of my child or is there insurance? I still have the toy pieces, but I am unsure how to proceed.

• had surgery two weeks ago for knee injury, WC wants me to return to work but it’s too soon. what can I do?

  Asked in Saint Augustine, FL | December 16, 2025

  I sustained an injury at work and had surgery two weeks ago. at the follow-up, the doctor cleared me to return to work in a few weeks. Workers comp said I need to return today. They said the doctor gave restrictions, and my employer said they can accommodate those restrictions. However, the restrictions they have in place are not acceptable, I cannot do what they say I can, ie…stand and walk for up to 2 hours. Further, I have asked them 5 times to send permission in writing from the district that I can return to work while taking oxy, they have not. They said the doctor said I don’t have to take it if I don’t want to, but I need to take it for pain. I sustained these injuries 6 months ago and needed surgery much sooner, but they made me wait until they exhausted all options before surgery. I accepted this delay without complaint. They forgot to send me to PT and went a month without it, I accepted that as well, but this is a bridge too far. Do I have any legal recourse? Thank you.

• Suing business associate for defrauding me. What type of attorney do I need?

  Asked in Brandon, FL | February 10, 2026

  During 2023 I entered into an Airbnb investment arrangement with a long term friend who represented himself as a co-business partner and operates a business focused on managing short-term rental investments. I was led to believe I would earn passive income through co-ownership of Airbnb properties, with promised returns averaging approximately $20k per month. To date, I have received no returns. He instructed me through a third party funding company he works closely with, to obtain high-limit or unlimited business credit cards in my name, which were then used primarily for his benefit. As a result, I am left with approximately $50k in business credit card debt, in addition to $7k paid to him as a business retainer. While there is no written contract, I have extensive text messages and other documentation supporting false representations, misuse of funds, and potential fraud.

• We own a long-standing appliance store. A customer thinks we scuffed her laundry room floor but we don't think so. What should we do?

  Asked in Englewood, FL | January 17, 2026

  Performed a service visit to replace a pedestal on a customer’s washer/dryer. No damage was reported during or immediately after service, and no issues were noted by the technician at the time. Approximately 16+ days later, the customer reported alleged floor damage and later provided photos and an estimate seeking full flooring replacement. The photos did not clearly demonstrate causation or damage consistent with the service performed, and the estimate did not attribute fault or identify localized repair scope, instead proposing full replacement (betterment).

  Company reviewed the timeline, documentation, and estimate, requested clarification, and issued a written determination that causation could not be established. Company policy is to take responsibility when damage is clearly attributable to its work; however, based on delayed reporting, lack of contemporaneous evidence, absence of professional attribution, and unreasonable replacement scope, company declined responsibility. Communications were professional, consistent, and documented. Basil remains prepared to respond. What are the next steps if customer continues and do we need legal help?
